Robert Rechnitz
Robert Rechnitz founded Two River Theater in 1994 and serves as the theater’s Executive Producer. In 2015/16, Two River premiered his play Lives of Reason, which he co-wrote with Kenneth Stunkel. An educator, writer, and director, he is one of New Jersey’s most esteemed theater leaders. Together with his wife, Joan, he established Two River Theater in 1994—a time when Monmouth County was the last major populated part of New Jersey without a professional regional theater. After producing seasons at Monmouth University and the Algonquin Theater in Manasquan, Two River opened a state-of-the-art, two-theater complex in Red Bank, designed by the renowned architectural firm Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates, as the theater’s permanent home. He directed the opening production in the new building, the classic American comedy You Can’t Take It with You, in 2005. The other notable productions he has directed at Two River include Curse of the Starving Class (for which he received The Star-Ledger’s nomination for Best Director of a Comedy), True West, A View from the Bridge, The Glass Menagerie, Thieves’ Carnival, Uncle Vanya, American Buffalo, and Barefoot in the Park. He received his Bachelor’s degree in theater arts at Northwestern University and his Master’s degree at Columbia. He earned his PhD from the University of Colorado and was a Professor of American Literature at Monmouth University for 35 years, contributing scholarly articles and short stories to various academic journals. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, honors, commendations, and accolades.
